And now, I'm getting the same error for TF2. Wat do?
I haven't gotten this error before, but my first instinct would be to rename or delete HLDSUpdateTool's InstallRecord.blob. It should be in the same directory as HLDSUpdateTool.exe. Then try to update again. This will force it to rebuild its install record, which hopefully will make it stop being confused about which game is installed.

On a side note, if you're installing to the same directory that hldsupdatetool is in, you can specify . as the directory (that's a single period).
